International Law

R. v. Caldwell

Back in July I ran a post about the decision in R. v. Long (I didn’t have a link to the decision then, but it’s up now here) which found that provisions for the legal use of marihuana for medical purposes were unconsititutional. Now the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia’s ruling in R. v. Caldwell has been posted (pdf file), disagreeing. Justice Warner held that there was no evidence that Mr. Caldwell’s access to marihuana under the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations was being arbitarily restricted.
